Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Two years ago when a ranked UW team traveled to Stanford they were 20 point underdogs and got plunger raped 65-21.
Last year UW was 8.5 point underdogs to Stanford and upset them 17-13.
I think this single digit point spread shows UW can win the game but it's not likely. Also shows that we shouldn't accept a "moral victory" or excuse a plunger raping loss either.
If Sark and this program has turned the corner you'll see a good showing this Saturday. If Sark wants us off his back the Huskies will get the victory which they are very capable of doing.

Going full doog here, but this is a winnable game on paper, unlike OR

Agree. At home I think UW could actually beat Stanford. I expect a good competitive game most of the game. If we get plunger raped to Stanford by over 30 then this is the same ole Sark soft ass team.unfrozencaveman said:Going full doog here, but this is a winnable game on paper, unlike OR
Oregon? Well they are national championship good and we aren't ready for them unless black mamba doesn't play. Even with him out I'd still take them over UW by 14+. -
this is a nightmare matchup, I think Oregon is more winnable than this game however Stanford will be closer
chance of winning
@Stan 5%
Oregon 6%
sark at home is okay, sark on the road is a fucking dreckfest -
Agree with your premise but using my eye test lol Oregon is a different animal than Stanford.dhdawg said:this is a nightmare matchup, I think Oregon is more winnable than this game however Stanford will be closer

Sark at home is fine against good to shitty teams. He has yet to beat a powerhouse like this year Oregon.
Stanford I think isn't likely to get a win but if I had to pick UW to win one I'd pick Stanford even with Sark's horrible road record. -
I don't see us being able to physically match up against Stanford up front. if we load up the box then Hogan will hurt us on play action. The Huskies need a couple of gigantic breaks to go their way.

I said the same thing last year, and the Dawgs pulled one of the top 2-3 surprises of the Sark era. That was in Seattle and without Hogan, but still makes me cautious. That win, plus the two notable wins against USC are the only reason I could stand Sark, and that stopped after the Apple Cup last year.
I can't see us doing the same thing this year, and think the Dawgs will do well to stay within 10. -
It's not just their O-line and Hogan. They're powerful, smart, and balanced on offense and defense. Football is about match ups, and this is the poorest match up on the Huskies schedule. I agree, it will take some gigantic breaks going the Huskies way for them to pull off an upset.DerekJohnson said:I don't see us being able to physically match up against Stanford up front. if we load up the box then Hogan will hurt us on play action.

Stanford is probably the best team in the conference. When they play a complete game they can beat anyone. The Huskies are not there yet, though I have to admit that they are much more athletic than I expected going into the season. If they play within themselves, catch key breaks, and minimize mistakes they may keep the score close, but IMO, they can only win on the back of Stanford mistakes. If Stanford plays error free ball, Stanford will win big. -

I understand your point about the lines, and I agree it's a bad matchup there for us. But at least we have actual advantages against Stanford. Against Oregon we're playing a team that's built like us except they're better at basically every position except maybe starting RB and TE. They're also better coached, more disciplined and more experienced with what they're trying to do.
I don't think we win either game, but I think I'll at least still be interested early in the fourth quarter against Stanford. UO breaks out the plunger midway through the third, at the latest.

Fuck keeping it close. Winners win

Is the line up to 10 yet?
